Book Suggestion on Mathematical Methods


Quote by Septim View Post
I am pretty confused I already own Advanced Calculus by Hildebrand, and Advanced Engineering Mathematics by Kreyzig. I have yet to study some parts of these books. In addition to that I am especially curious about tensors, should I buy a seperate book on this topic or get one including the topic as a chapter, such as Arfken, Hobson etc.?
Tensors?
Look no farther than this book here!

This book is free and highly intuative and will give you a pretty decent introduction into the subject.

If you mean the more algebray tensor producty notion of a tensor (although these are the same things as the once before) then maybe try the 2nd bourbaki book, Algebra I
I wouldn't even touch this version of it unless you've already got some pretty good linear algebra under your belt though.
